Great saves !!
Ernst Johann Biron was duke of Courland, supported by Russia. When Empress of Russia, Anna Ivanovna, died in 1740, Ernst Johann was removed from his seat. He regained his title again in 1763. No coins were struck during the Ernst Johann's first period of rule. The coinage began since 1763.

[ToastedWheatie]

Very nice, Zunder.
Do you ever find anything from the time period that Sweden ruled Latvia?

 

[zunder1]

coastal_digger, thanks for interest in my subject!

I welcome Tidajo! Yes I find. Usually coins, buttons, mushketny bullets. Very frequent find the Swedish coins in Karl Gustav, Christina, Gustav Adolphus's one shilling. I find other face values of coins not often. Yours faithfully!

Something from the new went on coins a little, here:



And it is my beach finds:

 

[Mackaydon]

In the pic above, you also have a Polish 1 Polushka copper coin:

There are five varieties of this coin issued in 1721.

[Mackaydon]

I'll correct myself; actually, the coin is from the Russian Empire. Its original weight was a mere 1.02g and its value was 1/400th of a ruble.
